Sorry this chapter took so long to be published. I had to babysit nearly all day.

Armed with nine cards a smirk adorned Pietro's face as he zipped around town trying to find nine lucky, and lovely, ladies. A wicked grin replaced the smirk when he caught sight of a dance studio. Pietro looked positively wolfish as he stared into the window at all the beautiful girls doing ballet. Without waiting for class to break he rushed in.

"Which one of you nine ladies would like a job?" He inquired. When nobody stepped to the plate he had to add, "You're getting paid to dance."

"Why?"

Pietro frowned at the petite woman in the back, "Because my friends and I are doing the whole twelve days of Christmas song for our girlfriends and I got nine dancing ladies."

"Aww that's so sweet. I wish my boyfriend was as romantic as you."

And that was what broke the dam, soon the shouts of, "I go!" poured in and to tell the truth Pietro had a hard time figuring out who should go. But in the end he got it all sorted out.

*Line break*

Tabitha yawned as she fixed herself a nice big bowl of cereal. One glance of the clock told her exactly why she was so tired. She had gotten up two hours earlier than usual.

"Up at noon, and they said I couldn't do it." Tabitha grinned while she grabbed a spoon.

"You know they say talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity."

Tabby glowered at the mutant before promptly throwing her bowl of apple jacks at him.

"Hey, is that anyway to treat your boyfriend?" Pietro jests while he dashes to her side, the bowl whizzing where he once stood way after he had left.

"It is when he sneaks up on you and calls you insane." Tabitha yelled as she lightly smacked his arm. Pietro pouted for a few moments before he grinned and declared, "Well I guess you don't want your present."

"Present?" Tabitha glows with excitement as she bounces on her toes all previous hunger forgotten. Pietro leered and went, "Ah ah. You threw a bowl at me."

"Did not, I was merely trying to give you food but you refused to catch it."

Pie sent her a look that clearly shouted yeah right, but swiftly opened the door and ran out leaving behind a gust of wind and a very confused Tabitha. Who; with a slight shrug, decided she was meant to follow and sprinted out, but not before locking and closing the door.

"You are one strange dude Pie." She muttered to herself while she followed the fresh track out into the woods. She walked for what seemed like hours, though it was actually forty-five minutes, before coming out into a clearing which held a pond frozen over with slippery ice. Her jaw seemed to unhinge as she looked over the snow and ice. For on the ice were nine ladies figure skating, with Pietro in the middle.

"Merry Christmas." He chimed while he raced forward.

"You got me people." Tabitha was in short very perplexed at the sudden turn of events.

"What? No silly I paid them to come here and dance. Well sorta dance. I also got a card." Pietro stated in a rush as usual as he pulled a card from his pocket and held it out with a little, "Ta da."

She said nothing as she slowly opened it and the song Girls Just Want To Have Fun poured out.

On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me nine ladies dancing. And two VIP passes to your favorite nightclub

"Yes! Let's go paint the town red!" She screeched while she pulled him in for a hug and a quick kiss.
